It might be the way I’m looking at it but it looks like the starter is not engaging the fly wheel all the way. |

why is there a washer in between the starter and bellhousing, looks like its sitting at an angle, starter should flush mount to the bell.

Correct size battery here spinning over the engine ? 12.75 / 12.8 volts is fully charged and USE a cranking battery not a deep cycle battery. All marine manu strongly recommend a cranking battery NOT a deep cycle battery for engine starting and running the engine side. I would use a quality 1000 MCA cranking battery. And not a walmart nor a O reilly nor a costco batteries period and IMO blue top OPTI s are junk to. |
Ive seen this before when the engine isn't started, pull the plugs and crank the engine a couple rotations and see if it disengages ? if not rotate the crank clock wise with a break over bar just a bit and see if it disengages.

Dumbass me was using jumper cables that were not up to it. Ran some heavy cable to the battery to starter problem solved.
thanks for all the responses! Chris |

[QUOTE=BUP;4674141]I see the same thing. I agree with you
How strong is your BATTERY and that POWER ? Correct size battery here spinning over the engine ? 12.75 / 12.8 volts is fully charged and USE a cranking battery not a deep cycle battery. Hopefully some of that info helped and a Volt meter - and Voltage DROP testing when you hit the starter. Had a feeling it was something to do with POWER / Voltage not spinning over the engine hard enough. Just saying. |
